Fucking A! It took less time for Robert to build it and for the paint to dry than for me to find my ass and wire it up. I have more pics and will film a demo when I get back from Denver. The alder on this one and the Bronco will break your back, but you will be happy to let it. I broke and stripped so many screws on this thing, it isn't funny. The DDDave guard had to be altered, and even then the pickup heights are a pain to adjust. But what the hell? It looks good and sounds powerful. The color is CAR without the silver base underneath, which has been called Bloody Mary Kay. Mary Kay is a translucent white, and this is trans red. The grain is visible, but it's a rich candy red.
The binding was shot with plenty of tinted clear to make it look like the 1957 prototype hybrid I was envisioning when I originally decided to do this. I will let you know if it was a good idea or not. Special thanks to Robert, and of course to Cowbell, who did the inlay and lined up the neck properly after I fucked it up. I would thank DDDave, but DDDave's not here. Oh, and I bought the Novak and the other pup from Cowy too. It's a real collaborative effort. I can take moar pics if anyone's interested.
